Bob spent two years working with Dromedaries in North Yemen which inspired an interest in camelids. He returned to a mixed practice in the Cotswolds with a herd of 100 llamas to look after, which highlighted just how fragmented and patchy the information was about the species in the UK.

A founder member of the British Veterinary Camelid Society in 1991, Bob was president of this group of 200 vets for more than 10 years. An unfortunate combination of endemic TB in the South West combined with large numbers of a very susceptible species has further pushed his interests to include TB in llamas and alpacas.
